Actually, who would go see it? The old timers would boycott it as soulless Hollywood money grubbing, and the idiots who eat up most of the drivel spewed forth these days would probably find it not their cup of Starbucks. FWIW, the remake of "The Producers" grossed $38M worldwide and cost $45M to make....

In a word.........NO
I spent many a Friday night at midnight in college with an opened umbrella, toast and other items being a 20-something dumbass along with countless others at the local theater. Why, part of my youth would be stolen. And honestly, could anyone be hotter than Sarandon in her bra and panties? Scandalous for the time.

Ive seen the original many times,but to be honest,it really tried too hard to be campy and outrageous.It was made by a major studio and it feels akin to your parents trying to be hip.Tim Curry made the movie.I think everyone else could be recast without too much of a problem.Tim Curry,though.....Does Eddie Izzard sing?

I don't usually like remakes or even colorized stuff. (Ted Turner should burn in hell for colorizing all the old B&W films and TV shows.) The remake of 'The Producers' had some good moments, and the actors were good, but it can't replace the original. I'm glad I saw it, but I doubt I'll watch it again, unlike the original that I've watched a number of times. Ditto for the Pink Panther films. I suspect that a remake of Rocky Horror would never capture the charm of the original. There are some things you just can't reproduce.
